I want to remove pre-installed apps I don't need/want on my phone.
And I want to know if there is a way to see what apks another apk needs to run.
and if there is a way to find what apk file an app in my app list is.
And another thing. if I deodex stuff, is it only /system/app and /system/framework I need to deodex? or is there any apk's in other places too?

The problem here is that an apk is usually a standalone package but the app may call other apps during runtime, so hard to know what's going on during runtime..

Just use Super Manager and launch APK Manager; you'll have a list showing the installed apps, click on one of them, you'll get a lot of info including apk name and package name

Yes, you need to deodex system apps and framework stuff, nothing else.

Do you know what's GAPPS? Google Apps...
Market store app,yes?
I don't know how to add apps to GAPPS.. but I know how to update some GAPPS to the system/app..
example: like PlayStore
- PlayStore upgrades automatically
- the old version is in your system/app.. but the newer is in data/app
- so then just find the app in data/app, rename to Phonesky.apk (renaming is necessary if the old app in the system/app has that name) (PlayStore has that file name)
- move & replace it to system/app..
use RootExplorer..
great day

Hello,Good day mate.
I still can't understand the mention.Sorry bro,cuz i'd still new and wanting to learn with this kinda system.Love graphics much so the idea comes when i see the Play Store that usually people do use it for daily apps search and downloads and from there i got an idea that i want to mod it,like it background,colors and so on.What do i need to modifying the play store app?is there any procedure that i have to follow?
ooh.. MOD it like give colors etc.. hahaha
you need to edit the resource files or xml file inside the apk.. open the apk with winrar.. extract.. you'll see many folders and files.. maybe you can repack it to apk again after editing.. rar it or zip it, use the "Store" level of compression, change the extension to apk..
I KNOW HOW TO SEE THOSE FILES.. COPY FROM IT, ETC..
BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TEXT INSIDE THE XML.. hahaha
study on Google mate..
Do i need any PC program to do this?
winrar, notepad or wordpad (for .xml) (preinstalled in Windows) or gedit/text editor in linux
I think just that
Does coding required for this?
coding? like html or "%2F" is same with "<sth. I forgot>"
I dunno hehe
I see..ok bro,will try it soon and thank you for your time.
You should contact ibanez ...he knows well about it...here is his work about play store....

Works on CM7 vo-1 flawlessly, I just wanted to see a list of paid apps that aren't installed like there where on older versions.
Thanks, installed without the need to push it to system app on my nexus 7.
Thanks. As said, you can now view the details of an app in My Apps and return to the list without it leaping to the top. I still miss being able to see a list of purchased apps though.

I found that but still can't order the list to show paid apps together. I also wish you could order uninstalled apps alphabetically.

... which kinda doesn't make sense, since this was a feature a few versions ago. Someone even "ported" old market version to workaround that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809215. I hope this will also be useful to others like it was useful to me
Kakashi Hatake said:
Install it ASAP! This update is much better. You can now see you're paid apps in the app list and when you scroll down and click an app you won't go back to the top of the list anymore :good:

it works! thanks a lot!
Just installed it as normal apk, without renaming it, works perfect!

Tried to copy paste or install...it worked, but when i reboot play store comes back in the old version.
In my system/app the playstore is named phonesky.apk, not vending.apk (using s'perience rom). What should i do?

Delete the Phonesky.apk and paste the new Vending.apk to /System/app then change the permission to rw-r--r-- or rename the Vending.apk to Phonesky.apk and paste the new Phonesky.apk to /System/app then change the permission to rw-r--r--

Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and i already have a question.
A friend asked me if it is possible to extract the original firephone standard mail app on his Samsung Galaxy S3. I tried the normal method:
Copying the mail.apk in the /system/priv-app/ to his S3 into the /system/priv-app folder, too and then setting the right attributes.
After a reboot it seems to be installed, but right after booting it shows that the email app has crashed. A manual launch of the main app
isn't possible too. Is there away to flash it manually or did i choose the wrong method to copy that system app? Is it even possible to
do that? Is it compatible?
Hope my english isn't too bad.
You would need the APK and the ODEX file... but even then it would be problematic because the rest of the Amazon DCP is missing...
Take a look at (some of) the permissions the email app is asking for:
Code:
com.amazon.dcp.settings.permission.read_settings
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.account.changed
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.amazon_account_property
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.use_device_credentials
com.amazon.dcp.snds.permission.change_snds_link_status
com.amazon.dcp.snds.permission.snds.link_status.changed
amazon.permission.application_settings
com.amazon.kindle.cms.cms_access
com.amazon.dcp.messaging.permission.handle_device_message
com.amazon.kor.demo.provider.permission.read_provider
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.expire_access_token
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.manage_cor_pfm
com.amazon.dcp.sso.permission.customer_attribute_service
com.amazon.dcp.metrics.permission.metrics_permission

Isn't it possible to bypass these permissions? Thought an Email application just needs network permissions to run a IMAP/POP3 Client...
Isn't it possible to integrate the amazon features?
I also copied the Odex file and it crashed...
If you want to try I can upload those files.

You need to deodex the app first (before porting it to another device) so that the apk and odex files become one file. I don't have a link to share but with a little googling you will find a ton of tutorial for deodexing KitKat using apktool.
I need OnePlusOne3 stock Music player app, can someone upload it?
i second this. Anyone mind maybe pulling a backup of that app with Titanium or something?
Here you go
https://www.dropbox.com/s/947ug15klcqg00d/Music.zip?dl=0
This is not a flashable zip.
You need to extract and move the files to the system/app and change permissions accordingly..

doesn't work, either moving into /system/app directory, or installing as a normal APK.

It's the direct backup of the app from stock rom.
So, it's supposed to work only on the stock rom.
You should look for the ported one in the themes and apps thread. It might work with CM rom.

Try this " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2aYS_xI_g-gRTRwdW43ZklKTFU/view?usp=drives "
Has no one actually considered decompiling the apk? It's likely juts got a command somewhere saying it can't install or work on anything that isn't an op3, remove that and recompile
It's most likely crashing due to the missing libs files. If anyone can help me find the appropriate lib files, I might be able to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Like the tittle says, Is it possible?, I already have the Xperia weather app that is posted in the Xperia crossed device section and work amazing in my N5X, but I cant find anything about the G6 or S8 weather apps and I dont want just the widget, Im interested in the fully app, if not I just could download a theme for some widget app.
everything is not possible, we get only whats possible, if it would be possible, there would have been so many posts,
btw, drop an apk file with oat / lib folder , i will give it a try
